about the caseless ammunition of the LSAT program the LSAT Program Lightweight Small Arms Technologies LSAT caseless ammunition is caseless ammunition produced as part of the U.S. Army s Lightweight Small Arms Technologies LSAT program. Although less advanced in development than the other ammunition component of the program, the caseless round has already produced its own outstanding results. Having replicated Dynamit Nobel s Advanced Combat Rifle ACR ammunition, the HITP High Ignition Temperature Propellant, which is hexogen octogen based to decrease heat sensitivity ammunition was modified to a 5.56 mm round. Tests proved the ammunition s usability, and development of the weapon was advanced using knowledge gained from the cased ammunition version.

At present, the company has 5.56mm NATO .223 Rem., 7.62mm NATO .308 Win., 6.8 SPC 6.8x43mm SPC , .300 Win. Mag .300 Winchester Magnum , .338 Lapua Magnum, and .50 BMG 12.7x99mm NATO ready to go. Overview A plastic cylinder makes up the body of the cartridge. Starting from the back of the interior of the cartridge The primer material. A priming method for rimfire cartridges is disclosed in which a propellant solution is disposed adjacent a centrifugally located primer material in a rimfire cartridge. The solvent is then evaporated to leave a propellant film near the primer material in order to provide slower, more uniform ignition to thereby allow use of propellant powders which would otherwise be too fast or too sensitive. Then comes the main charge of smokeless powder. Next is the projectile projectiles. This can be a variety of things, from multiple shot bird shot , a single bullet projectile, or a saboted flechette, and then, if necessary, the sabot sabots. Sabots are a piece of plastic that fits around the projectile. The plastic fits snugly against the rifling of the barrel and thus makes the cartridge more accurate if the projectile does not fit snugly against the rifling. Examples The Steyr ACR is the most notable user of polymer cased ammunition. It is a bullpup , Rimfire ammunition rimfire rifle, that shoots a 5.56 X 45 mm flechette cartridge. The muzzle velocity is 4,757 ft s. The flechette design allows it to retain much of its velocity and kinetic energy as it travels through the air making it shoot very flat. This allows the rifle to be sighted in at 50 yards and still maintain close to the same point of impact out to a range of 300 yards or farther ... ammunition Sabot Caseless ammunition Steyr IWS 2000 Steyr ACR Bullpup Steyr Mannlicher DEFAULTSORT Polymer Cased Ammunition Category Ammunition Category Article Feedback 5 ... more details
